The rising junior won the Thurmon Munson Batting Championship for the Cape, which includes previous winners such as Jason Varitek (1993), Chuck Knoblauch (1988), Paul O'Neill (1975), Pete Rose (1974) and Thurman Munson (1967).
Along with winning the batting title, Cunningham also was voted the Cape Cod League's Outstanding Pro Prospect by the Major League Baseball scouts.
As a sophomore at Jacksonville State last season, Cunningham batted an impressive .339, scored a team-high 66 runs, tied for the team lead in home runs (10), tied for second in stolen bases (9) and led the team in triples with nine. His two years at Jacksonville State have been highlighted by a long list of awards as a freshman, including Freshman All-America, Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Freshman of the Year, and All-OVC Second Team.
